Under the curatorial direction of writer and filmmaker Robin Bernat, {Poem88}Gallery represents emerging and mid-career artists, and presents thoughtful and innovative explorations in a new artistic frontier since 2010.

Bernatís curatorial focus is consistent with the philosophy ingrained in her at the esteemed but now defunct Atlanta College of Art emphasizing the necessity for both a solid conceptual framework and excellence of execution in art-making: ideas that are embraced by every artist represented.

Our distinguished artists work in both traditional and nontraditional formats including painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, installation, and experimental filmmaking. The high caliber of our artistsí work allows for their inclusion in prominent museum and private collections and important publications. Further, each artist represented at {Poem88} is actively engaged in the larger art communities where they live as educators, writers, designers, and lecturers.

We promote and pursue intriguing collaborations in all creative disciplines; we present musical performances, literary readings, and film screenings; finally, we especially encourage discourse on contemporary art and art-making.
